Print the page, take a screenshot, or use Firefox and Reader view for
that page, which allows you to copy text.

Turn off JS and refresh.
They are using JS to block copying but are not very good at it.

Yep, they have good reason, too:
"Le site www.vacc.info et son contenu, en ce compris de façon non
limitative les textes, graphiques, images, logos et icônes, sont
protégés par des droits de propriété intellectuelle ou autres et ne
peuvent pas être copiés, reproduits, distribués, utilisés, adaptés ou
traduits, en tout ou en partie, sauf autorisation écrite de l´asbl
Question Santé, et sans préjudice de la possibilité de télécharger et
d´imprimer des éléments du site www.vacc.info exclusivement à titre
d´usage privé, à des fins personnelles et non commerciales, pour autant
que le contenu ne soit pas modifié et que les notices de droits d´auteur
et marques soient conservées."
My sight translation:
"The site www.vacc.info and its content, including but not limited to
text, graphics, images, logos, and icons, are protected by intellectual
or other property rights and may not be copied, reproduced, distributed,
used, adapted, or translated, in whole or in part, without the written

Organization"], and without prejudice to the possibility of downloading
and printing elements of the site www.vacc.info solely for private use,
for personal and noncommercial purposes, so long as the content is not

So "fair use" is OK, but nothing more.

It is not necessary to refresh. Merely disabling JavaScript allows the
text to be marked and copied.
It appears that the script used to block mark-and-copy is quite robust.
If I re-enable JavaScript without refreshing, mark-and-copy is again
blocked. Most scripts do not restart when JavaScript is disabled and
then re-enabled.

I have javascript blocked & only enable it if absolutely required. So
I didn't have any problems selecting or copying text. If you do want
to have JS enabled try setting
dom.event.contextmenu.enabled to false
or
dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false
and see if either one of those does the trick for you

Hmm... does not work that way for me.
No refresh = no copy.

For me it's easier to use QuickJS. Click on / click off.

yeah... but that's a global switch to enable/disable javascript. I
_really_ don't like the idea of whatever ad network wins the bidding
war being allowed to run their code on my machine, so I use a more
selective approach. Originally it was noscript + request policy
continued but I'm really liking umatrix + ublock origin now. I still
haven't figured out ublock origin but umatrix is so much easier to use
than noscript + request policy continued

For a one-off, that's a good approach.
For me, using NoScript (where I block most, but not all scripting by
default) having vaccination-info.be blocked, I have no problem with text
copying. If I grant permissions for scripting, then there's no longer
copying capacity.

Prevent it from using scripts. Then you can select text.

Thanks for all replies ... I was just curious of "how can a site block a
text selection".

view source, then search for mouse, click, copy
probably one or more of those
Did you try setting dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled and
dom.event.contextmenu.enabled to false and see if they can still
block text selection?

The code that was shown elsewhere in this thread shows that they are
blocking the selection with "ondragstart=...". I don't think this event
is controlled by the settings you mention.

^shrug^ I'm being lazy and asking instead of testing it myself. I
have both of those settings in my user.js & I don't feel like removing
them, enabling javascript and then visiting the site to see if the
problem I didn't have originally still doesn't happen (and then
reverting my user.js). So I guess I'll just live in ignorance :)

Disabling JavaScript also works.
